AIG Women's Open Prize Fund Hits Record $10m Despite Tournament Being Unprofitable
The AIG Women's Open has increased its prize fund for a sixth consecutive year to a record $10m (£7.4m), despite the tournament not being profitable. R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said the organization treats the investment as "critical" for growing the women's game, with around 50,000 spectators expected at the 50th Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes from July 30-August 2. While the purse lags behind the men's Open Championship's $17m, Darbon said sustainability is key.
